In Brief

One of Finland's largest motorhome dealers, Best-Caravan, has filed for bankruptcy. The company attempted restructuring but failed to fix cash flow. The bankruptcy affects 50 employees.

One of Finland's largest motorhome dealers, Best-Caravan, has gone bankrupt. The bankruptcy petition was filed on January 2, 2026, simultaneously with a restructuring application that failed to stabilize the financial situation.

The company had been operating for 23 years. Its revenue exceeded €70 million in the last two years, but it recorded a loss of €1.8 million in 2023. Due to multi-million euro debts and a worsening market situation, Best-Caravan could not improve its cash flow.

The bankruptcy affects 50 employees, 12 of whom work at the Kempele branch. A clearance sale at the Kempele store will continue until the end of the week.

Plus: the largest campsite in the US at 607 pitches, a closed naturist beach on the North Sea, and Dolby Atmos in a trailer — all in this edition.
